Peak Pixel Design

15/10/2026

The last few weeks have honestly felt like being back in final-year college; 16-hour days leading up to a final design studio presentation! It’s always the way: professionally at my busiest, while personally gearing up for a big milestone. I managed to stay strict about keeping weekends sacred (the one habit I brought with me from hospitality), but I had to make an exception lately.

When you're running a business solo and keep saying yes, you eventually hit that wall of long nights behind the screen. I’m certainly not here to sugar-coat the solo business life, but the pros still heavily outweigh the cons.

The reason for the madness? I'm officially heading off on my honeymoon to Peru for a month. You have to get married to go on a honeymoon... I don't make the rules 😉

My mental and emotional capacity is currently maxed out and I'm so ready to unplug. Here’s to a month of swapping Kerry sheep for alpacas and trading Carrauntoohil in for Machu Picchu. Peak Pixel Design is officially hiking the most sacred Peak! ⛰️

Don't worry, I'm not going to completely ditch my phone. If you've been putting your new website, custom business cards, or digital refresh on the long finger, let’s get you sorted for a launch before the end of the year.

Drop me a message or email me. I’ll probably still sneak a peek at my inbox (a full digital detox is a step too far, I just can't help myself!).

I'll be back just in time for Design Kenmare in November, which is going to be a brilliant weekend. Talk to you all soon! 🏔️✨

I had the absolute pleasure of building Kasia's new digital home. Her beautiful images are every web designer's dream to work with!

Don't hesitate to reach out to her if you have any milestones coming up. She is incredibly talented and captures the most beautiful natural photos and has a warm, friendly personality to match!

I’m so happy to recommend Yosta! 🤍

From the very beginning, Yosta was incredibly dedicated to creating my website. She put so much thought, care, creativity and heart into the whole project, and the final result is honestly even more beautiful than I could have imagined.

When I started this process, I had absolutely no idea where to begin. I knew I wanted a website that was beautiful and truly reflected me and my photography, but I had no idea how to make that happen. Yosta guided me through the entire process with so much patience, kindness and understanding. She took the time to explain everything to me, answered all my questions, shared her ideas and helped me whenever I felt completely lost.

One of the things I appreciate most about Yosta is her incredible patience. She never made me feel like I was asking too many questions or taking too long to make a decision. Even when I wasn’t sure what I wanted, changed my mind or needed something explained again, she was always calm, understanding and patient. Throughout the whole process, I felt truly listened to and completely looked after.

What I loved most about working with Yosta is that she took the time to truly understand me, my vision and my photography, and turned all of that into a website that feels personal, authentic and completely right for me.

Her attention to detail, creativity and professionalism are exceptional. You can truly see how much care and dedication she puts into her work. From beginning to end, I felt that my website was in the best possible hands.

The finished website is absolutely beautiful, and I am genuinely over the moon with it. It feels personal, elegant and perfectly reflects my photography. I couldn’t be happier with what we created together.

Celebrating community and local collaboration! I loved working on the digital home for the Le Chéile Collective. If you want to dive into the local Kenmare art scene and see what these creatives are up to, head over to the new site.

Building spaces for local talent to shine is what it is all about. ✨

Say goodbye to pinches, zooms and impossible-to-read menu PDFs!

When I gave local legends Poffs here in Kenmare a digital glow-up, trading out the clunky old setup for a sleek, mobile-friendly online menu was a top priority. Your restaurant menu is your online storefront window. If potential customers can't read it easily on their phones, they'll simply X out and head straight to your competitor.

Here is what they had to say about the new site:
“Just opened my new website from Peak Pixel Design. Wow! Absolutely stunning. Looks really engaging. Thank you Yosta.”

No more guessing what’s on offer. Just a clean, beautiful layout that matches the incredible quality of the cafe itself, and makes life much easier for someone like me who always checks the menu beforehand (yes, the gluten-free life means fresh bread still haunts my dreams, so let me help you help me!).

Ready to fix your online menu and stop turning customers away before they even walk through the door? Drop me a message or head over to the link in my bio to schedule a chat! 🤗

1 year in business and what an emotional rollercoaster it has been.

Online, everyone looks like they are doing great all of the time, but I am not going to sit here and pretend it was easy. The amount of times I looked up jobs on Indeed or thought 'why are you making it harder for yourself'? Multiple times.

What I naively didn't account for was how much time marketing and putting yourself out there would consume. There is a reason I love hiding behind a computer screen. 👩‍💻 But pushing past the cringe and doing things outside my comfort zone, like hosting an International Women's Day event with KBN and LEO in my family restaurant alongside my sister, where we took a trip down memory lane and spoke about our past experiences, has been so good for me.

What year one actually looked like:
• Launched websites across 3 different platforms (because every project is unique).
• Streamlined workflows, changed my CMS 3 times, set up a client portal (twice) and updated my proposal flow with built-in e-signatures.
• Won an award (still can't believe it!).
• Saw a logo I designed out in the wild.
• Collaborated with a digital design agency.
• Upgraded my desk and even got a treadmill (some days I only did 1500 steps! That has luckily changed).
• Found my people: became part of 3 brilliant communities (local creative group , plus Kerry Business Women's Network Kerry Businesswomen’s Network and Network Ireland national business network).

Losing a parent young gives you a heavy dose of life-is-short syndrome, which is why when opportunities come up, you just go for it. Web design for me is a culmination of past experiences in interior architecture, hospitality and UX, backed by years of management experience. I am so so grateful that I get to do this every day, help other businesses grow and I genuinely love what I do!

Most importantly, I definitely did not do this on my own. Emotional support matters just as much as business systems, and I couldn't have done it without my supportive friends and partner (technically fiancé, but I can't bring myself to say that word, must be the Irish in me haha).

Loved bringing the vision for CairnPoint Consulting to life! 🏔️

As well as the core visual identity and business cards, the project covered a full multi-page site built to move visitors naturally from first click to booking a call. I also created a custom slide deck template and a sharp LinkedIn banner so the whole launch felt connected.

Working with clients who trust the process makes all the difference. Swipe to read the full review from Cora! 💬

On that note, if you’ve used a local service provider recently, consider leaving them a quick Google review. It takes two minutes, costs nothing and gives a small business owner the best kind of boost (especially after a long day!). 🫶

And if you run a business yourself and haven't set up a Google Business Profile yet, make it your priority this week! It’s completely free, simple to set up and does absolute wonders for your local SEO. And did I mention that it's 100% free?!
